Amazing experience, the house was beautiful, location was great. The people that came an meet us when we arrived and while we where there to clean daily (which we were not expecting) were amazingly helpful. Had problems with the TVs and they showed up late at night to fix.

This house was spectacular. Photos do not do it justice. Perfect layout for our group. The different outdoor areas for lounging were well used and we appreciated the options for shade. The pool was a good size and cleaned daily. The location is very close to the store which is convenient, and a short walk to the local restaurants, and the beach.

Great House and Location.

The house is all that you could want for a family (or not) vacation in a slice of Paradise. It's private and remote, but an easy walk to a market and handful of restaurants, and the beach, which is gorgeous and secluded. I would love to come back some day.

Great stay in playa grande

It was great to be near the beach but away from the crowds of Tamarindo. Keep in mind that it is a 40 minute drive to town even though it’s only a mile down the beach. The house was perfect for our multi generational family. Great amount of space and a very relaxing trip. Would definitely recommend.

Fun and Relaxing

The house was beautiful! It offered everything we could possibly need. The outdoor area was absolutely stunning- that's where we spent most of our time. The beach equipment was a huge plus. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and a market all within a short walk. Beach was WONDERFUL and just a short walk. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic location and accommodation

We were a group of 4 couples. This property had everything that we could have asked for from the rooms to the pool and out door area. Loved the proximity to the market and the restaurants in the neighborhood. We were able to easily walk to dinner at Cantarana ( excellent breakfast) , dinner and live music at The Grateful hotel, boat taxi to Tamarindo and the beach. We will be back!

Winter Getaway

There were 10 of us who stayed in the house and it was wonderful. Very comfortable and up to date living area and kitchen. Lots of room and privacy for each couple. The beach is so close and lots of little local restaurants within a short walk from the house. It was perfect

Great house in Playa Grande

Casa Estrella del Mar is one of our favorite houses in Playa Grande. The house has lots of room and is very comfortable. We had tons of space for 9 of us. There is a great pool and outdoor area. We spent lots of time by the pool when not at the beach. The house has beach chairs and toys which our kids loved. There was great communication from the staff. We will definitely be back.

Estrella del Mar

My family and I have been renting this house since 2019. It is amazing. The on site staff, Jerry and Fresia, are absolutely amazing. The house has everything you need. The neighborhood has wonderful restaurants and the kitchen is easy to prepare meals. We hired Grande Sushi for a private dinner and that is a must. Can’t wait to return.

Wonderful location for family vacation

We all loved the house, the pool and the location. Fresia and Jennifer are great. House and outside area was very spacious and comfortable. We were not disappointed with anything. There were 4 restaurants within close walking distance. A little grocery store next door. Very convenient. Beach was a 7 minute walk and is beautiful. Loved the sunsets. Great location and fun for ages 1 to 67!

Fantastic Home

We couldn't have asked for more. We loved the house and Palm Beach Estates. The beach is so quiet and beautiful. The house is conveniently located next door to a small store to buy things you may need and a restaurant. Make sure you meet Ernesto. He knows everyone and can help you find fishing trips etc. Anytime we needed something regarding the house Freesia was right there for us. We can't wait to return.

Everything was wonderful! The house was spacious, pool great, walk to beach easy, and closeness to a few restaurants and a small grocery store also great! The whole family had lots of room and privacy when desired. The house manager was always prompt in response to any inquiries and the local personnel very pleasant and friendly! We hired a chef and 2assistants for our last meal from the the store next door (The Palm Beach—-?). The food was excellent and the staff very friendly! Overall a very positive experience making wonderful memories for all!

Fantastic home in great location

This is the perfect home for multiple couples or large families. Tons of togetherness space, but also lots of privacy in all the individual bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool area is so great for gathering, having fun, and just relaxing. Small cafés in a store right next-door, but, no neighbors behind or on one side. So again, lots of privacy. Felt very safe. Short walk to the beach and other cafés. Daily light housekeeping from a wonderful, friendly caretaker. Daily pool cleaning and landscaping maintenance. Absolutely perfect stay.

Friends and Family

We were 2 families, 3 generations all together in a wonderful roomy house, in a small, walkable neighborhood of homes, casual restaurants, and a gorgeous beach for beautiful morning walks and sunsets. A couple days were spent on excursions but much time was spent in the pool and covered areas around the pool on those really hot days. We even had a show from the howler monkeys! Layout was great, beds comfortable. Only 'hiccups' were issues with the hot water and living room couches were not particularly comfortable. All in all, a great house to gather with friends and family!

Splendid Property

This was just a perfect place. Everyone had all the privacy they could want and all the togetherness to enjoy. The private beach was a short walk away, and the sounds and fragrance of the jungle lingered like an aura around the pool area with its lush, tropical landscaping. The neighborhood was charming, with small shops and restaurants in walking distance, but the drive to nearby towns was also easily accessible. The service by the caretakers was kindly and detailed so we really were on vacation, not just "keeping house" away from home. The kitchen was well appointed and large, so whatever cooking or pineapple shearing we did was done with ease in comfort with the whole family gathered around. We would definitely go there again!
